Antibiotics, chemotherapy, steroids, and even some over the counter products can change your balance. High blood sugar can also influence odor and the frequency of yeast problems. If you live with diabetes or prediabetes, keeping glucose in range helps your skin and intimate health too. Bring a current medication list to your appointment so your clinician can check for contributors and easy adjustments.
7) Intimacy related infections
Infections that spread through intimate contact can change odor and discharge color. These are medical issues, not moral judgments, and they are treatable. If you have a new partner or any new symptoms such as yellow or green discharge, pelvic discomfort, or bleeding after intimacy, schedule testing. A visit with a gynecologist or a trusted primary care provider ensures accurate diagnosis and discreet, effective care.
